ABSTRACT:
A waveguide switch matrix is disclosed. The switch matrix includes a number of input waveguides that may be selectably connected to a number of output waveguides. A switch apparatus is provided at the intersection of each input waveguide and each output waveguide. The switch apparatus includes probes inserted into both the input waveguide and the output waveguide. The probes are connected through a switch arrangement. When a particular input waveguide is to be coupled to a particular output waveguide, the switch arrangement between the probes of the waveguides is closed to provide a signal path for the electromagnetic energy.
